Lol did Wood just break the billboard behind the far boundary?

91, 93, 95!

Good luck Aussies

I wonder what speeds those 4 WIndies quicks from the late 70s/early 80s would have achieved if they had the quality of technical help the modern guys have (quality of bowling coaches, video analysts, dieticians, medical etc etc). They were bloody rapid for that era. Holding, for example, achieved 156 kph (97mph).

Fantastic spell. Excellent crowd noise from the yorkies

Out you go, sir.

Hopefully he's still got enough in him to send a few in at Smith's head.

Shame Wood wasn’t ready for tests 1 and 2. That’s a different class of pace.

Good to have a proper fast bowler out there. Little change from Wood so far for the Aussies.

Quickest bowler in the game today. Only Lockie Ferguson and Anrich Nortje run him close.

It must be very tempting to keep him on for a long stretch, he'll terrify anyone he faces. But we need to look after him. His injury record in his career is up and down. Short spells at a time (7 or 8 overs) would be enough.
